Distinguishing Technical Inefficiency from Desirable and Undesirable Congestion with an Application to Regional Industries in China
نویسنده
چکیده
Congestion is an important issue that requires the efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs). We first classify conventional congestion into congestion (newly defined) and technical inefficiency, based on prior research and real applications. Modified definitions and mathematical expression of congestion, managerial inefficiency, and technical inefficiency are proposed to better illustrate the differences between them. Several modified models are provided to identify and recognize those types of inefficiencies and congestion. We then extend the model by considering the desirable and undesirable types of congestion simultaneously. The proposed approach is applied and verified by identifying resource congestion and environmental inefficiencies in China’s economic development.

Environmental Assessment and Congestion for DMUs With Undesirable Outputs
In recent years, the assessment of environmental performance has been received considerable attention by environmental policy indicators and decision makers. In this regard, this paper applies data envelopment analysis (DEA) as a management tool for evaluating the environmental performance of the firms and uses the extended bounded adjusted measure (extended BAM) for including undesirable outpu...
متن کاملCongestion measurement in data envelopment analyses under weak disposability of desirable and undesirable outputs in a Two-phase Network
Congestion is one of the main issues in data envelopment analyses which have particular importance. Recently researches about congestion, whether in economic articles or in Operations Research articles in had grown increasingly. Congestion is a wasteful stage of the production process where outputs are reduced due to excessive amount of inputs. In economics, congestion is very important because...
متن کاملA Russell Measure for Modeling Environmental Performance
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been long employed as a popular methodology to evaluate the performance of various production activities with multiple inputs and outputs. However, an important issue is that the production process in the real world inevitably generates undesirable outputs (like wastes and pollutants) along with desirable outputs. Therefore, the undesirable outputs should be ...
